Nah, I don't usually rush things THAT much. Aren't you supposed to
wait 'til the Iowa cop pulls you over for a non-functioning light --
then scramble to a car-parts store in Bumknuckle, Nebraska, looking for
lamps?
For what it's worth, I've got all LEDs on the trailer. They don't burn
out very often (although my wiring does allow some room for farkling).
14 "marker" lamps and two stop/turn/tail = $200, by the way. . . Ain't
cheap, but they're bright and long-lived.
